Indeed they are, and so cheap these days, it's not worth bothering about the older type.

They can vary in accuracy though, I bought a £2.99 no-brand one for an old PC of mine and it's not a patch on my Logitech one, it jumps all over the place when you try & use it slowly & accurately. You gets what you pay for...
unscrew the bottom, there will be about 2 or 3 rollers in there.
use your finger nail to scrape off the crud, then re-assemble,
should be like new.
also, get an optical one, there only a few quid,and are much better.

Hi-Point (you know the world famous manufacturer :rolleyes: ) Cordless Rechargeable Laser Mouse - works fine - unlike the Logitech one I had previously that kept losing connectivity !!

doh! You use the mouse on the desk, don't rub it up and down the screen, you won;t be able to see what you are doing
